Thanks

Yeah, the problem with the 201 A-6 is the flow rating is too low at
only 30
gph. The 231 is rated to 65 gph, I believe, and the .5 psi pressure
drop
isn't reached until max flow. So at normal fuel flow of 7 - 16 gph,
the
pressure drop would be much less than the 201.
Yes, it works with 3/8 fuel lines, that's what I have.

Thanks again,it is a floscan 201 A-6.Should trust ones instincts ,I
knew that hole looked small.I'll check out the other senders for
later.I have to get this thing inspected before the end of Feb.Have a
pilot lined up but the insurance co. is frowning on his age a
bit.Can't really fly it till I get a hydraulic pump,the one I had made
isn't going to work.Just another few hundred down the tubes.Any word
on that pump Bob,I guess the end of January didn't work eh.
Thanks again folks.Much appreciated.

FWIW, I use an EI FT-90 "gold cube" flow transducer, which they
claim has a
0.05 PSI pressure drop at 20 GPH.

Jason, if you run a fuel flow sensor, you need one would that has a
low
pressure drop. If it is a Floscan, make sure it is not the 201B.
That one
does not work well with gravity fuel systems.
I run a Floscan 231 in mine, and it has only 0.5 PSI pressure drop,
so it
works fine. I was getting around 27 gph IIRC
